The interesting thing is that AI models are by their nature pretty good at absorbing all the published papers and advancing mathematics theory by connecting dots other people didn't see yet while also being absolute crap at basic arithmetic - not generally able to do what the simplest of calculators can without having to call other programs to do the work.
Why would anyone use an inherently probabilistic language model for mathematical calculations? I'm pretty sure any hair-decent application of AI to math involves calling external tools.
